Flickr & Greasemonkey
Saturday, June 21st, 2008Flickr.com is a cool site to share your photos, it’s even better if you use greasemonkey scripts. I created a list of some greasemonkey scripts that work great with flickr.
Lets you add tags to any flickr user, you can then view the tagged users via a whole range of different filters, including view by tag, view tagged users photos,favourites,testimonials,most interesting photos, photos of that user etc, etc
It overrides the flickr “Send to Group” button above your photo/video and lets you send your Flickr image or video to multiple groups simultaneously
This script enables you to easily send your Flickr images/videos to multiple groups at the same time. It works by overriding the normal “Send To Group” button on your flickr photo page.
Prefetches the “Next” page in Flickr to browse photos seamlessly.
features:
1. Works for any page that has a “Next” link in flickr
2. Navigating to the Next page without re-rendering the whole page (when “Next” becomes pink)
Display photo rank (if the photo can be found in 1000 most interesting photos of the day)
The script queries flickr for rank of the current photo in explore. The result is displayed on the photo page in additional information.
Auto comment the place where you come fromThis will help you leave a trail of where you found the photo you are commenting on.
Combines the multi-page results on Flickr.com into single-page views.
As you scroll down the page, more results get loaded and appended at the bottom of the page, effectively creating bottomless results.
Select which exif info you want to see on the photo pageDisplay more information (like aperture, exposure, etc…) from the addition EXIF data directly on the photo page.
Infinite Scrolling for Flickr: this greasemonkey script removes the need to go from pages to pages in Flickr by automatically expanding the display when you scroll.This greasemonkey script makes small changes to the interface removing the need for you to click on the pagination number and wait for loading times every time you go to the next/previous page.
Add a duplicate textarea and form to post comments right below the picture
Changes background color on mouse hover
The script displays several shades of gray from white to black. Hovering mouse over it changes the background color to the one the mouse is over.

OpenDNS
Friday, March 7th, 2008OpenDNS protects millions of people a day across hundreds of thousands of schools, businesses and homes. We block phishing sites, give you the power to filter out adult sites and proxies among more than 40 categories, and provide the precision to block individual domains.
Block the bad sites and whitelist the good.
Content Filtering
Not everything on the Internet is welcome on your network. Decide what to block on your networks with easy-to-use, powerful content filtering options. Choose from dozens of categories, ranging from social networking to gambling to webmail and more.
Phishing Protection
We operate PhishTank.com, the world’s most trusted source of phishing data. We integrate that data into an intelligence feed on our DNS servers to keep everyone on your network safe from phony sites trying to steal personal information.
Domain Blocking
You want to secure your network and have control over what resolves. We give you that control by providing the tools to block any website or DNS zone on the Internet, all through an easy-to-use interface.
Adult Site Blocking
Safeguard your kids, protect your students, or limit your corporate liability by blocking adult websites. Our adult site blocking solution can be deployed in minutes and provides granular levels of blocking. Hundreds of school districts are already using OpenDNS to achieve CIPA compliance. Did we mention it’s completely free?
Web Proxy Blocking
Prevent people on your network from bypassing the access restrictions you put in place. Blocking Web proxies helps ensure your network remains secure.
Domain Whitelisting
We provide a deep list of Web content filtering categories to block, but sometimes there is a domain you want to make sure is never blocked, even if it’s listed in a feed. Have the final say with our Domain Whitelisting feature.
Got stats?
Statistics
Understand your Web traffic with intutive stats about your network’s DNS. This is your data, and now you can view it like never before. And of course, if you don’t want stats, we won’t collect any DNS data from you, at all.
Make life easier for you and your users.
OpenDNS Guide
The OpenDNS Guide is the page your users see when they go to a website that doesn’t exist or isn’t resolving. We provide search results and offer suggestions to help your users get back on their way. This includes the use of our industry-leading domain spellchecking service to save them time and make them more productive.
Customization
We want what you want: happy users who feel comfortable using OpenDNS. Customize and brand our OpenDNS Guide and blocked pages, replacing our logo with your own. Show the users on your network that what they are seeing is trusted and safe.
Typo Correction
We don’t think you should be punished with an annoying error message if you make a small typo, like typing google.cmo instead of google.com. That’s why we correct that typo, and thousands more like it every day.
Shortcuts
Shortcuts are like AOL keywords that you control. Set up a simple shortcut like "help" that people on your network can use to find your company IT helpdesk, or "HR" that takes them to your company HR Web site. You can set up network shortcuts and still let all the users on your network create their own.
Make DNS outages a thing of the past.
Large Cache
OpenDNS operates the largest and most intelligent DNS caches in the world. As a result, when you ask us a question, we almost always have the answer. This results in an overall faster way to navigate the Internet.
Ultra-Reliable Network
Our architecture was designed to withstand even the worst of network failures and still serve your DNS reliably. Feel free to dive in and learn more about our architecture and how we run a zero-downtime network.
We’re here to help.
Free technical support
If you have a complicated DNS setup and have questions not answered in our instructions, feel free to send us an email, IM or even give us a call. We’ve got DNS experts ready to help you start using OpenDNS today. We don’t outsource this, so expect to talk to some engineering-types when you call.
